Desiree Lindsey

Anita Desiree' Moore left behind the 9 to 5 work force with
the government and gave up her RN degree to move to the
wide open spaces of Colorado where she now writes what she
loves to read...historical romance. After taking first
place honors for her historical novella, she finally caught
the editors eye and three days before Christmas 1997 sold
her debut, ENSLAVED (Red Sage "Secrets" volume four
Anthology/Mass Market Paperback Fiction/December 1998/
$12.99). Writing as Desiree' Lindsey, her debut novella is
now featured in Doubleday Hardback. With that first sell
and a release coming out in December, she was offered
another contract from an electronic publisher. Her second
release is a full-length historical, PRISONER OF PASSION,
available September 1999.

Lindsey says it was her English Instructor in college that
got her started thinking about writing. At the time she
insisted her goal was to get into the medical profession,
but then as soon as she picked up a romance and started
reading...she was hooked. A well written romance is a
golden treasure, says Lindsey, providing adventure and
travel to far places. They make up 56% of all mass market
paperback sales and have been proven to spice up one's love
life. Perhaps more important though, Desiree' believes
romance books advocate literacy among genders of all race
and religions; they deal with real life issues and provide
both men and women hours of entertainment...they encourage
healthy monogamous relationships, and inspire hope and
rehabilitate victims of domestic abuse. For all these
reasons, Desiree' has chosen to write romance, but mostly
she writes because she loves creating adventures for
readers. Living on the rugged plains of Colorado with her
own real-life hero and two children--where her belief in
the power of life-altering love is a part of life--Desiree'
Lindsey admits her greatest joy is giving readers a small
window of time to let their imaginations soar.
